Every once in a while a toy comes along that perfectly captures the humor of the current designer toy scene... and
Kyle Kirwan's new
LabuBloom! Faker Series #1 does exactly that. At first glance, you might be thinking, "
Wait... is that a Labubu?" Not quite.
According to Kirwan, it's "
just a Bloom with a mask on," and honestly, that's what makes this release so much fun. The figure features his signature Bloom character disguised beneath a vacuformed plastic mask inspired by those classic Halloween masks many of us grew up with in the 1980s (yup, kinda aging myself here) It's equal parts parody, tribute, and playful commentary on collector culture.
Standing approximately 3" tall, the LabuBloom! Faker Series #1 resin art toy features two points of articulation and plenty of personality. The front view shows the mischievous masked grin, while the rear reveals the truth hiding underneath... a clever little detail that makes the figure feel like more than just a simple mashup concept. Produced as a resin collectible art toy, this release embraces the handmade charm and quirky creativity that collectors have come to expect from Kyle Kirwan's work. As Kyle puts it... "
It's art. And it's fun." The LabuBloom! Faker Series #1 is available
HERE now for $50.
